Keeping up with ingredient prep in a fast-paced kitchen can be a challenge. Ingredient All Day Counts helps you track exactly how much of each ingredient you need across all open orders, so you can work smarter, reduce waste, and keep service running smoothly.

How It Works

  1. Enable the Feature – Go to Settings > All Day Counts in your Fresh KDS app.
  2. Assign Ingredients to Menu Items – Link specific ingredients to menu items (e.g., a chicken salad uses three tenders). Counts can also be configured using modifiers or combinations of menu items and modifiers when preparation variations need to be tracked separately.
  3. Get Real-Time Counts – Fresh KDS automatically totals the number of each ingredient needed across all active orders.
  4. Counts Adjust Instantly – When an order is completed, the ingredient count updates in real time.

  • Seamless integration – Works directly within Fresh KDS without additional setup.
